What’s on your reading list?
I signed up for Marvel Unlimited and so far I am pleasantly surprised.
I’ve been able to discover many of the comics that I wanted to read as a kid, but never had access. It was fun finding old issues of Thor or Fantastic Four that I read as a kid, and re-reading those stories now. And the art! I’m seeing so much new (to me) Jack Kirby art that I have started on a Kirby styled Suzi. I’m thinking it’s going to be a fun wallpaper scene.What were your favorite comics as a kid? What about now? Moon Girl & Devil Dinosaur, Rat Queens, and Patsy Walker AKA Hellcat! have been very fun books to read, and I love the art styles. Share your faves, and help a guy find some new great stories!

Jessica Jones
I just wrapped up Jessica Jones on Netflix, and I liked it. I never really followed many street level heroes as a kid, mainly sticking to Fantastic Four and Avengers. So it’s been kind of a fun discovery of heroes I knew nothing about. Jessica Jones is a fascinating character. She’s a hard drinking, grouchy impatient PI who also has a very big heart under that gruff facade.
The show is not for the young ones, as it pulls no punches in showing just how devastating super powers can be. Jessica can lift a truck, but uses her wits and intellect as the first line of problem solving. I love the new spin on the classic detective noir style. The show has some pretty dark moments, but it’s able to blend in some fun to help offset the carnage. I am looking forward to where Netflix is heading, with all these characters setting up The Defenders team. I wonder how Dr. Strange will fit in? Time will tell, and I’ll be watching.

We stand with Brussels!
Brussels, we stand with you. Tyranny and oppression are the tools of the cowards who fear the future and what it holds for mankind. Today we stand with the people of Belgium, and mourn the loss of so many innocent lives. We will show the cowards that traffic in terror and death that good people will not bow to them.
To all our friends in Belgium, our hearts break for you today. But make no mistake, no one believes for a second that the Belgians are scared or broken. A storm is coming, and it will bring a terrible wrath for those who plot in darkness. We all rest assured that the Belgian people will continue to stand as a champion of liberty!

New Gallery is online!
Thanks to the amazing Lewaine, we now have a gallery of all the Suzi art I work with, as well as desktop and mobile wallpapers. I am working on a few cool new print and play elements for you guys. I loved the giant sized comics back in my youth that would have things like puzzles, mazes and cutouts for you to use. 
This Captain Marvel stand up diorama was on the back cover of an old King Size Shazam! comic that was falling apart. I was able to save the diorama and that gave me an idea. I’ve created a few cool retro paper craft mini-projects that will be uploaded to the gallery this week! -

Music and Passion: Hand in hand
I love talking about music, especially when it comes to the 80’s inspired style of Retrowave. I’d never heard of this genre until I stumbled across the NewRetroWave channel on Youtube. NewRetroWave is a network that has the uncanny knack of finding the best in the Retrowave scene, and consistently serves up music that captures the stylish moody passion that was the 80’s. And as a guy who graduated in ’84, they are spot on.
I mean, check out that logo! The sense of dedication to the style and spirit of the music is what makes this passion driven collective so special.
NRW is also expanding to include retro gaming and comic reviews. Did I mention they have some awesomely cool 80’s styled shirts and art available?Spoiler: When the Suzi animated series comes out, you can bet NRW will be the guys I go to for the soundtrack.
Over in my sidebar, you will see the Radio Cosmos playlist, which features a ton of great NRW gems. If you’re a fan, check them out, and if you’ve never heard of Retrowave, give it a listen, you might like it 🙂

“Home, Parker”
Sylvia Anderson, pioneer of puppetry and a trailblazer for women in entertainment, has passed on. She leaves behind a legacy that will outlast many of you reading this today. With a degree in sociology and political science, she worked in the US for several years as a journalist before returning to the UK and eventually joining AP Films with her husband Gerry. The BBC has a nice article on Sylvia and her accomplishments.
Thunderbirds didn’t play in my area growing up, so it wasn’t until I was an adult before I had my first exposure to the Andersons and their amazing worlds. I’m still a fan to this day…

This weekly webcomic has become one of my favorites. The writing is fresh, fun and top notch and the art really captures that pulp adventure feel. This is a fun read and I would love to see this animated!

Get Rickety Rickety ‘Recked, son!
I’m pretty stoked that Rick and Morty will be back in 2016. This is one of the most subversive, brilliant and utterly insane sci-fi stories told. It’s humor might be lost on some, but the story lines and plot concepts they introduce are amazing and surreal. Mix in a dose of cynicism, edgy humor and a way of not taking yourself too seriously and you have the formula for one of my favorite shows. It took me a bit to get used to the animation style, but the writing and rapid fire dialog just sells the show.
Fun show, worth a look!
